Castle on a Hill in Larchmont Woods

Who wouldn’t want to start every day waking up in a castle? In New Rochelle’s Larchmont Woods section, this classic pre-war residence marries old-world sophistication, storybook warmth and a convenient location in the heart of Lower Westchester. The magic starts with a drawbridge entrance to the front door, leading to a towering entrance hall with a multi-level spiral staircase ascending the home’s defining architectural feature: a two-story turret.

While it might channel tradition, it’s also fully in touch with today. You’ll find a chef’s kitchen, remodeled baths and a updated systems, which include all new windows, touch-screen thermostats and a full-house generator.
